The Dakota NDT 1.0 MHz Dual Element Transducer is a specialized ultrasonic transducer featuring a 1/2 inch diameter and a robust, potted cable with a side entry. This dual element transducer is expertly designed for ultrasonic thickness gauging applications, particularly excelling in materials such as cast iron, various plastics (like polypropylene and polyethylene), and fiberglass, where its lower frequency offers enhanced penetration and reduced susceptibility to material-induced scattering.

The innovative dual element design incorporates separate transmitting and receiving crystals that are internally angled to optimize sound beam focusing in the near-surface region. This unique configuration leads to improved detection of small anomalies and more accurate thickness measurements, especially in materials known for their challenging acoustic properties or in applications involving elevated temperatures (depending on the specific model's temperature rating). The potted cable ensures a durable and environmentally sealed connection, guaranteeing reliable performance in demanding industrial settings. The side-entry cable configuration is a common and practical design that keeps the cable neatly routed during scanning procedures.

Key Selling Points:

• Optimized for Attenuative Materials: The 1.0 MHz frequency provides superior penetration in materials like cast iron, various plastics, and fiberglass.

• Enhanced Near-Surface Resolution: The dual element design improves the ability to detect small flaws and measure thin materials with greater accuracy.

• Robust Potted Cable: Offers a durable and environmentally sealed connection for long-lasting reliability in industrial environments.

• Practical Side Entry Cable: Ensures convenient cable routing and minimizes interference during inspections.

• Designed for Versatile Material Inspection: Expands the range of materials that can be effectively inspected with your ultrasonic thickness gauge.

Benefits:
